In the North East of AZ, the forestry department is actually removing junipers because of their invasiveness to the area. In less than 2 years after removing 1/3 of the trees, the area looks like a whole new place. Green, filled with wildlife, and the water table has risen. The pronghorn are thriving too. The NE was originally all grassland back in the 1850's, according to cowboy journals.

thanks for this, it really helps. But...if I have two wires going to my solar charge controller, can they go from the positive and negative nodes on the same battery?

Nice!👍🏻

You isolated the pump pressure switch from the tank pressure with that third check valve, simple.

You don't need check valves for a jet pump. Use them for submersable pumps.

Thanks bub

Unit's capacity is 42 Milliamps = 4.2 Amps NOT 42 Amps. That would FRY YOU!

Don’t forget to wash behind your ears

😂😂 You made my day!! Good video! Now I know what all that racket is over at your place!!! Have a great day!!

I may have gotten a little hot and bothered and wet lol. Still a dream on my homestead to build one. However this economy has been making developing on the homestead take forever.

I remember when you first started your channel.

Thank you for this. I bought a truck a year ago and was never given the key for the tow hitch pin. I needed to swap my hitch for the first time today as I was buying a large travel trailer. Was about to go ham with a hammer and decided to see if anyone else has had the same issue. Grabbed a random jack handle and had it off in 10 seconds with the same reaction of what? That was to easy.

Nice comparison. Glad you showed the tanks to be able to compare sizes, was having trouble getting a visual before deciding what tank i want

Best video ever

Great job and great video thank you so much appreciate your help brother!

🤘😎

I have one of those pos Chinese pumps from china freight and the pos melter at the pressure switch..can I use it by bypassing that crap?

I've only know that the check vale should go on the in line to the pump befor the pump, this keeps the system primed even if the foot valve in the well goes bad, ask me how I know😅. I was also told any in line filter should go after the pump, why I don't know that either.

Never underestimate the power of a large nipple..

Great video about plumbing a swallow well pump, except you forgot to show how to plumb one . LMFAO😂

Great video, well explained even for someone that might have no clue what so ever!

Pressure control valve might help

1st to comment. Hi Jeff. I've been following you since the beginning

Check valve is bad. Seeping

Hydrogen peroxide is a great idea. I tried to talk a friend into it and he is stuck on the beach idea.

The only checkfile needed on that system is the one immediately after the well or water source. It would be there to protect the water source from contamination or back flow. Everything after that would just be ball valves that could be shut off for servicing. Those pumps turn on when water flow is detected. But they require Back pressure at the same time. I mean the check valve right after the pump eliminated that. And the pump would start short cycling. By removing the check valve the pressure tank Is giving the pump back pressure. The check valve on the main line should be removed and replaced with a ball valve so you have an accurate reading. And if the pump starts short cycling you will know there is a leak in the main line or at the house.

Booster pumps need to read the pressure of the house service line.

Apparently the pump has to read pressure from the house. New remove the check valve it is now reading pressure from the pressure tank. There should not be a check valve after the pump anywhere in the line. A ball valve should be installed. For servicing. With the check valve in front of the pump the first time the pump was unable to read the pressure.

Thanks for this. I'm ready to buy some & wrap a 25-foot garage soffit (no gutter) because the wood's paint has been steadily cracking & I don't have time to replace the soffit before I replace the fascia (with vinyl board).

dum ass !!!

The clamp on your ground rod is for indoor use only and you need a 8’ electrode.

Why didn’t you cut angles, so the overlap?

1st to comment. Jeff you've come a long way. I have watched you since day one.

I also use a hydrogen peroxide product but also includes silver.

Thank you for teaching me, master, as I embark on my life of crime.

Can i borrow the pipe next

I have the same lock but it won’t unlock. Didn’t have a pipe so I used vice grip. It worked, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

The system only requires 1 check valve. The check should be put before the tank and after the pump to stop back pressure. The way you explained it was soon as both check vlaves shut your system ie the pipe work between the pump and tank because check vales do not create a very tight seal the pressure in your pipe work will reduce another words it would slowly drain back into your well. So by just having a check valve at your tank before your pressure switch, you find it works perfectly.

Use a good quality stain and reapply every 5 years.

Thanks for the video I ran into the same issue with the same set up with the backflow valve. The well technician had the answer it's the back flow pressure that kept the pump from short cycling. The pump switch stop cycling after i removed the backflow valve. Don't put a back flow valve between the Tank and pump!!!

Proof that these locks provide a False sense of security, only keeping honest people honest. To slow thieves and prevent prank pin pulls I use a Grade 8 Bolt for my pin. With loctite thread-locker on the 2 nuts holding it in place, followed by a bit of J-B Weld and a cotter key. This has kept everything snugly in place. Yes the pin can still be removed but will take a lot more time and effort to do so. And yes it will now be a royal pain if I ever want to swap out the hitch. But the hitch will still be there to swap out.

Old video but excellent.

I subscribed but don't know where to find the rest of this story. Please help with a link?

Thank you for the idea. I'm doing it soon

¿Para un sistema off grid puedo tirar un cable ground desde el panel de breaker principal al panel de breaker off grid? ¿O deberia instalar un nuevo ground independiente especificamente para el sistema off grid?

Is this meter made in the US?

Are those batteries made in the US?

Very interesting!
